I advise my students to write that thoughtful letter and I am sometimes amazed at the accomplishments that have occurred since their college applications were originally sent in. However, I think we would all agree that students need to make the deposit at a school where they have been accepted and assume that is where they will be going. Waitlists give hope, but rarely much more.

I will definitely share this information with the students I work with. When my son was a high school senior, I spent the entire year searching for scholarships to pay for college, and it definitely paid off — he graduated from Columbia University last May, completely debt free! However, most parents and students don’t have the time or energy to look for scholarships, or they don’t know how to find the most promising and unique opportunities for them. And even if they do, there’s so much information out there that it can be totally overwhelming!! As a result of all my hard work and the experience I gained, I founded a company called Scholar Dollars. We provide personalized scholarship searches for students and focus on locating more obscure scholarships that are harder to find, which means that our clients have a better chance of winning. On average, we provide high school seniors and undergraduate students with over 250 scholarship opportunities throughout an entire year. Of course, the ultimate result and money won depends on the student’s motivation, determination, and commitment, but the money is there if you are willing to work for it!
